Chapter 25: A lamp of Kong Ming is all right
On a different kind of Chinese New Year's Eve, people on the two roads should have gone their separate ways, and there was no intersection, but fate made people and insisted on pulling some red lines out, which led to the current gathering of people.
Halfway through, several plates of round and plump dumplings came over from the kitchen.
Aunt Li is the only older person in this house, at this moment, she walked to Mo Yanxi's side with a large tray, and then bowed slightly, put down the two plates of dumplings, and then raised her voice and said very festively:
"Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter whether you are rich or poor, no matter what is good or bad, you must eat a dumpling, first, the coming year will be smooth and healthy, and second, the future will be full of wealth, Miss will pass today, everything will be smooth!"
Mo Yanxi was also happy, took out a bulging purse from his bosom and handed it to Aunt Li.
Nan Ke's eyes lit up, looked at the red purse in Aunt Li'er's hand, and then looked at Mo Yanxi and said:
"I want it too, I want it too!! Miss, I want it too! ”
Sakura Niang sat on the side and snickered, grabbed Nan Ke's body that was about to stand up, and said:
"You have to say the greetings first, and the young lady can give you a purse!"
Nan Ke turned his head and said, "Congratulations? Miss will definitely find a beautiful match in the coming year! Double stay and double fly, happy and free! ”
Mo Yanxi pretended to be serious and difficult:
"You are talking about mandarin ducks, what kind of greetings are there."
Nan Ke was anxious when he heard this, for fear that Mo Yanxi would not give him his purse, so he hurriedly explained:
"It's a greeting! It's a greeting! Now that you don't lack anything, you lack a confidant, and my greetings are naturally the best! ”
As he spoke, he raised his head, a little proud.
Mo Yanxi's cheeks flushed with shame, and she immediately took out a purse, threw it at her, and told her to shut up.
Then, the young girls of the Mo house at the other table all came over with wine glasses and toasted and received purses.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Mo Yanxi was already a little drunk, elbowing his head with one hand and turning the cup with the other, his eyes were shining, and he jumped out of the way.
"Mingsang, I... I said the day before yesterday to buy some Hung Ming lanterns, can you buy them? ”
Ming Sang said: "I bought it, I bought it, I already have it, if Sister Yan Xi wants to put the lamp, I can do it now." ”
Mo Yanxi heard this, great joy! He staggered to his feet, glanced at everyone, and said very crisply:
"The sound of firecrackers in the middle of the night is endless,
Fireworks set off a hundred flowers;
Staggered crowd of joy,
A light of Kongming, everything goes well.
Walk...... Let's go put... Put on the lights! ”
After speaking, Mo Yanxi turned left, patted Yuan Huaisheng's shoulder very hard, swayed left and right by himself, and went out.
The two Su Changfeng brothers looked at each other, a little incredulous.
Nan Ke was also drunk, and when he heard the call, he stood up suddenly, startled Ming Sang trembled violently, and a glass of wine was poured on his new clothes, Ming Sang was a little distressed, picked up the Jinpa handed by Xiangxue, and wiped it carefully. Unexpectedly, Nan Ke grabbed his sleeve and dragged him to the door.
For a while, there were only four people left in the house, Ying Niang and Yuan Huaisheng.
Sakura Niang was a little embarrassed, squinted her eyes and smiled:
"I'm really sorry, my young lady is too calm on weekdays, but today she is high, and she drank two more glasses, so she jumped out of the ordinary, and I hope you will forgive me."
"Where is Miss Sakura, it is an honor to be able to come to your mansion today to celebrate the New Year together, and I hope the head of the family will not dislike it."
Su Changqing is sociable, and a few words resolved the embarrassment at the banquet.
Sakura Niang was very grateful, glanced at the lively crowd outside the house, and said:
"Why don't we put a lamp together and pray for blessings."
Su Changqing and the others did not speak, and turned their heads to look at Yuan Huaisheng.
Yuan Huaisheng gently turned the wine glass, and said for a long time:
"It's fine."
Then he took the lead out of the hall door and stood beside Mo Yanxi.
Because the boundary of the courtyard here is not very wide, so everyone went to Dihe to put lamps, and when they got there, Changxi Changle had already prepared paper, ink, pen, inkstone and table lamps.
Mo Yanxi staggered, walking unsteadily, and Xiangxue kept supporting her, for fear of any accidents.
Walking straight to the lamp, Mo Yanxi picked for a long time, and finally took a pink one out, put it on the table, and swiped it with a pen, writing down four lines of exquisite hairpins
:
Towards the sea at the end of the Qionglou,
The green mountains are charming and the green water is quiet;
Turning hands over for clouds and hands rain,
But the deep alley wine buyers.
The poems are a little heroic, and some are indescribably helpless.
Before the pen and ink dried, Mo Yanxi propped up the lamp, and then put the candle in it smoothly, Xiangxue stepped forward and lit the candle with a candle, only a moment of effort, Mo Yanxi relaxed his hand, and the lamp flew out smoothly, slowly rising above the sky, leaving only a little dim.
Mo Yanxi folded his hands and prayed sincerely
: This is already the case in this world, and there is no shortage of bloody storms. I only wish to be in the next life, stay away from strife, be an ordinary family, live in a deep alley, carefree, and happy!
"I think the mandarin duck is very good."
I don't know when, Yuan Huaisheng was already standing beside Mo Yanxi and said something strange, Mo Yanxi's mind was dizzy, and he didn't react much.
He only turned around, tilted his head and asked:
"Don't you put the lights on, such a good day! Don't waste it. ”
Yuan Huaisheng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Mo Yanxi's lamp until it disappeared from sight.
"My fate is up to me."
In the end, he left seven words and entered the small pavilion on the side, poured a cup of tea by himself, and stayed away from the outside world.
Nan Ke stretched out his hand and pointed to a pile of lamps and said, "Mingsang, I want that, that!" ”
Mingsang followed her gaze and asked, "Which one?" This one? ”
Nan Ke shook his head: "No, it's the one!" ”
Ming Sang was quite helpless, standing in the lamp looking for it, and looking at Nan Ke, for fear that she would fall.
Tang Mingsang was about to raise his hand to pick up a lamp, but he was unexpectedly preempted by a pair of slender and white hands.
Su Changfeng picked up the lamp and looked at it for a while, and said to Nan Ke a little teasingly:
"If you call Brother Su, I'll give it to you."
Nan Ke was dazed and didn't hear it clearly, but Tang Mingsang on the side was furious:
"Please also ask Second Prince Su to respect himself, this is the Mo Mansion, not a place where smoke and wine are green, saying this, it is really a bit debauched and insulting!"
As he spoke, Ming Sang snatched the lamp from Su Changfeng's hand and helped Nan Ke to walk towards the table.
Su Changfeng looked at the backs of the two, touched his nose helplessly, and pursed his lips. Then he followed, stood on the other side of Nanke, and said:
"I'm just joking, I don't think you can call it, so ......"
Nan Ke didn't say anything, so he just drew one on the lamp... Well...... A four-like animal, and then stop fiddling with the lights.
Ming Sang was speechless, and asked with some anger:
"What are you drawing?"
Nan Ke successfully put the lamp on, and then said seriously:
"At first, I wanted to draw a rabbit and a lion, and in the end I should have drawn both.
“………”
“………”
The two beside him were speechless at the same time, Su Changfeng kept holding back his laughter, and finally his face turned red, he couldn't hold it back, and he laughed out loud, out of control.
“… Then you want to be a rabbit...... It's still a lion! ”
Su Changfeng looked at the ignorant person in front of him. , asked with a smile.
Nan Ke glanced at Su Changfeng with disgust, then leaned closer to Tang Mingsang's side, and then said slowly:
"At first, I wanted to be a rabbit, then I wanted to be a lion, then I wanted to be a rabbit and a lion, and now... Now the rabbit and the lion don't want to. ”
Red lanterns are hung on the promenade that surrounds the embankment and nine curves, reflecting on the surface of the lake with some fine ice cubes. A few clusters of brightly blooming red plums carry a faint fragrance in the wind.
However, after a while, dozens of Kong Ming lanterns floated above the Mo house, and the house was full of laughter and laughter, some noisy and harmonious.
At this time, in Su's house, Mrs. Su sat at the table with her mouth pouted and looked at the delicacies on the table, without the slightest intention of moving chopsticks.
After a while, he seemed to be a little sleepy, took a nap, and when he came to his senses, he looked at the sky outside the house, and asked with a frown:
"Are you back?"
Chun Tao, who was waiting beside her, replied cautiously: "Back to the old lady, the two young masters explained when they went out, so that you don't have to wait for them and rest early." Early tomorrow morning, they will come to accompany you for the New Year. ”
Old Madam Su was a little angry, and then slapped the table hard, and immediately remembered the sound of utensils colliding on the table.
"Humph! That's it, two rabbit cubs, let's withdraw, the time has passed, I'll go to the ancestral hall and put incense on the pillar again."
After speaking, he didn't want to be supported by others, his eyes were a little red, and he walked slowly in the direction of the ancestral hall step by step.
After Yuan Huaisheng and the three of them were children, they went back to the Han house together, and it was very lively just now, but this time it suddenly returned to coldness, and it was indeed a little difficult to adapt.
Su Changfeng yawned, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.
Yuan Huaisheng took a sip of fragrant tea, and then asked:
"Over there, how's it going?"
Su Changqing rubbed his temples and said:
"The person sent said that it was ready, just wait for things to appear, and the martial arts will be chaotic, and we can leave."
Yuan Huaisheng nodded and said, "That's very good, let's go back tonight and prepare, as soon as the morning dawns, I will go to the house to pay a New Year's greeting to the old lady." ”
Su Changqing and the others were a little stunned, they couldn't believe it, this person hadn't seen him for a year or two, whether he had changed sex or what!
Yuan Huaisheng saw that no one accosted him, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Didn't hear clearly? ”
"Oh... No, no, then Changfeng and I will say goodbye and wait for His Highness to drive tomorrow. ”
The two exchanged glances, and they both walked out quickly.
Sitting in the carriage, they didn't react much.
Su Changfeng frowned and asked, "Brother, did you say Your Highness...... What stimulated you? ……”
“………”
"I think since I met that guy named Mo Yanxi, he has some... How to say... It's not quite like it used to be. ”
“………”
"He can actually agree to go to Mofu for Chinese New Year's Eve, oh my God! And I'm embarrassed, I called the two of us to go! ”
“…………”
"It's sky, except in the palace, I have never seen him go anywhere to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with others, and he is a girl who has never met a few times."
“…………”
"Moreover, His Royal Highness also said that he wanted to come to our house to pay New Year's greetings, can you believe it!"
Su Changqing rubbed his temples and closed his eyes not to look at Su Changfeng, but his voice was too noisy, chirping like a sparrow.
"Shut up! Quarrel to death, what is unbelievable, His Highness has never changed, what he thinks in his heart, how can you and I guess. ”
"But... He..."
"Shut up, you go back again."
Brother deterred, Su Changfeng obediently shut up.
Tonight, Linyuan City is very lively, there is no curfew in the New Year, even at this moment, the streets are still bustling with people, gongs and drums are noisy, it is really a city that never sleeps.
